Abstract Climate extremes are on the rise. Impacts of extreme climate and weather events ecosystem services ultimately human well‐being can be partially attenuated by organismic, structural, functional diversity affected land surface. However, ongoing transformation terrestrial ecosystems through intensified exploitation management may put this buffering capacity at risk. Here, we summarize evidence that reductions in biodiversity destabilize functioning facing extremes. We then explore if...
Climate change, urbanisation and demographic change affect urban areas pose a range of health-related challenges to residents, including heat waves, drought periods, air pollution densification processes. Urban green spaces provide ecosystem services that can help mitigate the effects these challenges. such as parks, gardens street trees regulate microclimate buffer noise well variety pollutants. Parks promote physical activity, relaxation social interaction. The potential might be limited...
Societal Impact Statement Pollen relates to many aspects of human and environmental health, which protection improvement are endorsed by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. By highlighting these connections in frame current challenges monitoring research, we discuss need more integrative multidisciplinary pollen research related societal needs, improving health humans our ecosystems for a sustainable future. Summary is at once intimately part reproductive cycle seed plants...
Air quality is a globally pressing issue as it poses major threat for human health and ecosystems. Non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) are highly reactive substances known their impact on the HOx (OH + HO2) NOx (NO NO2) budget. Important air pollutants such ozone particulate matter (PM) in terms of secondary aerosols (SOA) result from chemical oxidation NMVOCs. NMVOCs comprise variety anthropogenic biogenic with complex interwoven interrelations. Therefore, key to capture these...
Abstract. Anthropogenic aerosol particles remain a significant air quality concern in Central Europe, particularly during winter months. This study employs the COSMO-MUSCAT chemistry transport model to investigate particulate matter sources, with focus on emissions from residential heating. The results are compared measurements sites Germany and Czech Republic, where solid fuels commonly used for A non-reactive tagging method tracking primary organic (OM) reveals high contribution Although...
Abstract Relationships between vegetation and air quality are intricate still not fully understood. For regional assessments, a better understanding of the diverse feedback mechanisms is crucial. The present article investigates impact land use data set detailedness on predictions. Therefore, two different sets were applied for simulations with COSMO‐MUSCAT Germany in May 2014. One includes detailed information about tree species while second one obtains generalized widely classes including...
URMELL, the new gas-phase chemical mechanism for Urban and Remote cheMistry modELLing with a comprehensive isoprene aromatics chemistry scheme. URMELL includes various highly oxidized molecules which enable direct explicit SOA treatment.
Drought stress was identified as the most important abiotic stressor that modulates emissions of biogenic volatile compounds in a Northern European city. Isoprene concentrations were reduced by 65% under drought during growing period compared to non-stress conditions.
Climate extremes are on the rise. Impacts of extreme climate and weather events ecosystem services ultimately human well-being can be partially attenuated by organismic, structural, functional diversity affected land surface.

SOA formation was modelled with the CTM COSMO-MUSCAT equipped URMELL comprising sophisticated isoprene and aromatic chemistry schemes directly coupling to actual chemical processes including transport-related regime shifts.
<p>Biogene flüchtige organische Verbindungen (BVOCs) sind allgegenwärtig, vielfältig und werden in der Atmosphäre sehr schnell oxidiert. BVOCs großen Mengen durch Pflanzen, insbesondere Bäume, emittiert. Zu den gehören Isopren, eine Vielzahl an Monoterpenen, Sesquiterpenen sauerstoffhaltigen organischen (z.B. Methanol). Infolge ihrer schnellen Oxidation Ozon, OH-...
